What we do in the sunny Portugal
summary
Portuguese community runs sustained, concrete projects: continuous translations since March 2005 using a translation memory tool, a localized Ubuntu guide with practical recipes, regular install‑fests and meetups, a podcast since 2017, and a self‑hosted Linux Center/computer lab where volunteers install Ubuntu and teach hands‑on. The group organizes conferences (Ubicon Europe 2019 runs three official days plus four social days and hundreds of attendees) and struggles with leadership continuity, low gender balance, and converting casual users into repeat contributors.
